Applesauce Bread

I promised Monday that I'd share with you the recipe for Applesauce Bread that we are giving as gifts. It's a healthful breakfast or snack item and a thoughtful gift for people you really care about.

Oh by the way, this is a great way to use some of that applesauce you may have canned this fall, but store-bought works just fine, too.

I got this recipe from Laura over at Heavenly Homemakers. It's really good and really easy... two of my favorite things! Normally when I make this recipe, I make four loaves. I let them cool well and then pre-slice, wrapping each loaf in plastic wrap before putting into a gallon-size freezer bag. On occassion, I have been known to forget to get a loaf out of the freezer until shortly before I'm going to serve it *ahem* but because it is pre-cut, you can seperate the slices for quick thawing. Ta Da! Once again, breakfast is saved!

Applesauce Bread

1 1/2 C whole wheat flour

3/4 C sucanat or 1/2 cup honey

1/2 t baking powder

1/2 t baking soda

1/4 t sea salt

1 t cinnamon

1/2 t nutmeg

3/4 C applesauce

2 eggs

1/4 C butter, melted

Mix dry ingredients. Make a well in the center and add applesauce, eggs and butter. Stir well.

Pour into a buttered bread pan. Bake for 45-55 minutes at 350° or until a toothpick inserted in the middle of the loaf comes out clean.
